Chapter 2170: No Motion Sickness

As for the relationship between Madam Xiang and Xiao shi, it's hard to define it as good or bad.

Madam Xiang was not a domineering woman by nature, and although she was not pleased with her son's hasty marriage, she didn't want to clash with the influential Xiao family. Xiao shi, on the other hand, was obedient and respectful towards Madam Xiang, doing everything a daughter-in-law should.

Later, Xiao Shi accidentally discovered a secret of the Xiao family and was kept under house arrest by them. Madam Xiang visited her a few times, hoping to bring her back.

So, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was relatively peaceful, with no major conflicts.

In the beginning, there might have been some unpleasantness that left a grudge in Madam Xiang's heart due to Xiao Shi's behavior. However, when Weinan told Madam Xiang that if he divorced Xiao Shi and remarried, the new bride might not come from a family as prestigious as the Xiaos, and they would need time to adjust to each other. Madam Xiang, who had a good relationship with Xiao Shi, saw no need to go through that process again with a new daughter-in-law. After all, who knew if she would get along with her?

Moreover, Xiang Weinan and Xiao Shi had already grown close, and Xiang Weinan didn't want to marry a stranger.

Considering her own situation and knowing her son's wishes, Madam Xiang ultimately didn't say much and left them to their own devices.

Shu Yu found this quite intriguing and asked, "But you've been living on the estate, and they don't mind?"

"They probably do, but Xiang Weinan takes care of those matters," Xiao Shi replied.

Initially, Xiao Shi was impressed by Xiang Weinan's talents and demeanor, but as she got to know him better, she began to appreciate his character and personality more. It seemed that she liked him even more and couldn't bear to be without him.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Shi smiled bitterly.

Just as Shu Yu was about to say something, Xiao Shi suddenly frowned in discomfort and made a retching sound, covering her mouth.

Shu Yu was taken aback. "Are you feeling motion sick?"

She reached for a box of motion sickness pills. "Take these."

But Xiao Shi waved her hand. "I'm fine, I'm not motion sick. Do you have some water? I just need some water."

Shu Yu immediately handed her a water flask, and Xiao Shi took small sips, looking a bit better.

"Are you really okay? When we get to my house, let my brother-in-law take a look at you."

After some hesitation, Xiao Shi agreed, "Okay."

She seemed fatigued and closed her eyes, resting against a cushion. Occasionally, she showed signs of nausea, her brows furrowing deeper.

Watching her like this, Shu Yu's expression gradually became strange.

With her looking like this and claiming not to be motion sick, could it be...

Shu Yu didn't dare to ask more and simply covered her with a cloak. She peeked out of the carriage curtain and saw that they had already entered the city. She then said to Xiang Weinan, who was riding ahead to clear the way, "Sir Xiang, please go to the southern courtyard first."

"Alright," Xiang Weinan had originally intended to send her home first.

However, he didn't know that Shu Yu had other plans at the moment.

It was already late in the day, and the carriage soon stopped at the gate of the southern courtyard.

Xiang Weinan dismounted and intended to greet Zhao Xi before leaving. However, when the courtyard gate opened, Shu Yu helped Xiao Shi out of the carriage, and both of them entered the courtyard.

Xiang Weinan was taken aback but didn't say much, following them inside.
